[Zope] Re: Using GPL'd modules with Zope?

Everyone seems to disagree but it looks like I cant use GPL'd Products without GPL'ing the entire zope installation. Anyone care to dispute this?

I certainly will. The GPL doesn't kick in unless you are *distributing* the GPLed code, and using it to run a website doesn't count as distribution. You can *use* GPL'd Products with Zope, Apache, or even totally closed binaries. Of course, if you *are* planning on packaging up GPL'd code with Zope or other code and selling/giving the combination away, you do need to be sure all of the licences are compatible (Zope 2.5+'s ZPL 2.0 licence is officially GPL-compatible).
